An analytical minefield evaluation model without space averages

Abstract

The paper describes an approach to the evaluation of the effectiveness of a minefield in terms of the number of mines that are detonated by a convoy of sweepers and ships and the corresponding number of vessels that are immobilized. The positions of the mines and the tracks of the vessels are assumed to be known, which means that the evaluation measures are dependent on a large number of disjoint events, each event being the immobilization of particular vessels by particular mines. This may render combinatorial methods computationally infeasible, but by introducing approximations in the assumptions, the difficulty can be overcome, specifically by modelling the arrival of each individual vessel in the neighborhood of a mine by an inhomogeneous Poisson stream for which the arrival rate is nonzero only over a short time interval. The plausibility of the approach is supported by results of a critical‐event simulation model.
